Huawei P11/P20 officially coming on March 27
The worry here is that a drop that wouldn’t have left any lasting damage on the iPhone 7 will leave the 8 with a seriously cracked rear. For instance, even though the Samsung Galaxy S8 is supposed to benefit from tough Gorilla Glass 5, my device ended life as a glittering mess of glass shards after a 2ft drop onto a wooden floor. Related: Apple Watch 4 review I applaud Apple for switching to glass, but my overall view of the iPhone 8’s design is that it feels dull, predictable and quite some way behind Android flagships. The trend to trim the bezel surrounding the display – which provides more screen in a smaller body – can be found on the iPhone X and Apple’s 2018 iPhone lineup but the iPhone 8 still sports a sizeable bezel and fairly small screen. At least Apple has ensured the iPhone 8 is still IP67-rated for water-resistance, a feature that’s fast-becoming a prerequisite on flagship phones.
It also retains the exceptional Taptic engine that provides thoroughly satisfying nudges and buzzes throughout the operating system.

There are three colour options for the iPhone 8 – not the five of the iPhone 7 or XR – but the gold is easily my favourite. This replaces the former gold option and Rose Gold; it’s an amalgamation of both. The glass on the rear of the device possesses a soft, almost ‘creamy’ quality, while the sides are a less vivid pink.

It’s appealing, but not all in the Trusted Reviews’ office share this view. If gold isn’t your thing then the iPhone 8 is available in Space Grey and silver too. It’s been a year since Apple killed the headphone jack, and to absolutely no-one’s surprise, it hasn’t made a return here. Having lived with the iPhone 7, I’d already become used to either picking up some wireless headphones or remembering to take the dongle – but it’s hardly ideal.

However, there is actually plenty to like here, and the few changes Apple has made do make a noticeable difference in use. The main upgrade is True Tone, which first debuted on the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. It’s a clever feature that dynamically alters the display’s white balance depending on the environment you’re in. It’s like the Night Shift mode in iOS, but on a hardware level.

It sounds minimal, but it really does work to soften the blue tones in the display, with the end result making it more comfortable on the eyes. Apple is also now supporting the Dolby Vision and HDR10 formats, so you can play back HDR movies from iTunes and supported content from Netflix. Unlike the iPhone X, which Apple claims has a ‘True HDR’ screen, the iPhone 8 doesn’t. Still, watching Mad Max in HDR does look noticeably better than on the iPhone 7. Related: Best iPhone The rest of the display specs remain the same as before. It’s still an IPS LCD panel; if you want the perfect blacks and more vivid colours of OLED, you’ll have to plump for an iPhone X, iPhone XS, XS Max or an Android device.

It also excels for use in super-sunny conditions – an area in which OLEDs often suffer.
